Hi I’ve been prescribed this due to me having an incompetent cervix. I lost my son at 26 weeks in my last pregnancy. You length seems good so I assume it’s being prescribed as a precaution? Was your baby’s early arrival due to IC? If so and they are likely prescribing progesterone as some studies have indicated that it’s helped to keep the cervix stable. Although some consultants are yet to be convinced. Good luck with your pregnancy x

There was no known reason why I had my baby early except GBS so they're guessing it was an infection. Prescribed just as precaution only but id take anything to enhance my chances of not having another early baby. Sorry to hear of your loss and good luck to you xxx I thought 7cm was crazy long most of the post theirs is max 4! So my risks outlines in my notes seem good

I had my first son at 23+6 last year, so I’ve been closely monitored. I was prescribed cyclogest at 23 weeks as my cervical length dropped to 27mm from 38mm within a week. Your cervical length is super long strange that they would prescribe it at that lengh, what gestation are you? So far I’m 26 weeks and baby’s still tucked up inside. I had a cervical scan at 24 weeks and my cervical length stayed at 27mm so looks like the progesterone is working for me So far.. hope everything goes ok for you this time x

I have a tac stitch due to ic and losing our daughter last year at 22wks. I am also on progesterone as well as having an occlusion stitch on my cervix to prevent infections.

The progestone is to stabilise ur cervix so if he recommends it then it won't do any harm. I technically don't need to take it anymore but it's done more for my mental health than anything else... Even if they are a pain in the bum 😁

I'm 25+4 today. However as my waters broke last time spontaneously they didn't want to take a chance so taking it up to 34 weeks gestation. They calculated my risks and they predict there's only a 0.3% chance il have baby before 32 weeks but they said they'd like me to be safer than sorry. Good luck to you too x

35 weeks pregnant

Your baby now weighs about 2.4kg and measures around 46cm from head to toe. Soon, as the wall of your uterus (womb) and your belly stretch thinner and let in more light, your baby will begin to develop daily activity cycles. Read More
